Date men and women from United States / California / Davis, 73 year old

Date someone special from Davis, United States. My professional life has been and continues to be a source of challenge and satisfaction. There is also an abundant amount of leisure time that I fill with a wide variety of activities. Outdoor interests include hiking, skiing, tennis, and snorkeling. Indoors, I am active in ballroom dancing and have taught myself to be a decent cook, enjoy many of the films that play at The Crest or Tower theaters, live performances in Sacramento or the Bay Area, museums like SFMOMA or Sunday afternoon at the Crocker. Talking about our life adventures,holding hands, watching a beautiful sunset, seeing a mountain peak or a deer in a valley, making love in the afternoon, a glass of wine, and travel are all on my list of favorite pursuits. Divorce has taught me alot about myself and what makes a successful relationship. I am independent, dependable, honest, fun loving, considerate, energetic, passionate, and compassionate, and enjoy people with similar traits. What I need to enrich my life even more is a partner to share with me the wonderful things this life has to offer. If you have some of the same interests that I have, please be in touch. I would like to hear from you.

Meet a soulmate from Davis, United States. I would love to meet a lady who has an appreciation for what I bring to a relationship. I am fully prepared tp have a relationship with a lady who has depth of character. She does not need a college or graduate degree. I won't hold those things against her, but I feel that too many people place too much of a value on educational components. Street smarts can be as effrective as any PhD.
Chemistry is important. When we begin to discover each other, I want to engage her slowly and not just be a hit and run artist. My age might be a turn-off for some 50 year olds, but once they meet me, they will realize that I have much to offer and certainly one of the most important things is a young attitude and a physically fit body. I long for a lady who wants to be near me and be excited in any adventure we take together. She does not need to have money. She must have a strong ability to demonstrate affection.

Date people from Davis, United States. I seem to have spent my life being the "go to" person. I am very stable, not particularly well organized, but very happy. I don't sweat the small stuff, and that has gotten me through a lot of rough spots. I raised four children and ran my own restaurant coffee house. Still don't know how I did it. Two of my daughters are lawyers, the other an MD. My son is a computer engineer.
One of my professors told me once that you should always follow your passion. That is what I am trying to do now. I got my MA in art but gave up painting to raise my family. I am trying to pick up where I left off.I paint as much as I can and I have my work in a gallery in Carmel Valley.
My life is very full and I don't have time to be bored. I am very excited by this time in my life. There are so many possibilities. I belong to several discussion groups, but it would be nice to have someone with whom I can really talk.
I have traveled a lot and lived in Europe. Living in another country is the best travel experience. Now I can enjoy visiting friends in other parts of the world.
I am looking for someone who enjoys trying new things, who appreciates how much we have, and mostly who has a sense of humor. I love to laugh. What is more fun than a little private joke? He does not have to like my paintings, but I would like him to be interested in the arts.
